THE REGGIO EMILIA APPROACH

TNS Beaconhouse is the first school in Pakistan to embrace the Reggio Emilia Approach and it is the overarching philosophy that scaffolds both our project-based learning and International Baccalaureate programme.Reggio Emilia is a city in Italy where, right after the Second World War, a refreshing new approach to learning came into being. Tired of the irrationality of the war and the devastated world it had left behind, a group of parents got together to arrange a new kind of education , far removed from the prevailing system which discouraged creativity and lateral thinking.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

Children learn best when they are left to explore and discover; allowed to ask questions and seek answers through guided inquiry. The PBL approach builds on problem-solving, communication, questioning, student interaction and most importantly their natural curiosity. It puts students at the helm of the learning process. It engages and sustains their interest and ensures a deeper understanding of a given domain. So, instead of learning a set of pre-determined and decontextualized information, students will acquire knowledge and skills that build upon their own experiences. Read More …

IB MIDDLE SCHOOL

The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme is a natural progression for the project-based learning practiced at TNS. It provides a framework of academic challenges for students aged 11 to 16 that encourage them to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and guides them towards becoming critical and reflective thinkers. The IB MYP is genuinely rigorous and is externally monitored by an independent international body whose reputation for quality is recognised around the world. Read More …
